ABOUT DANNY
-----------------------
Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!
I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.
On KZbin and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.
Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble
I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

I'm 72 and this coordinated non handsy motion has increased my drive carry from 220 to 235 yards. Less effort, more power. A major obstacle to improving my swing at my age has been to realize that I AM a Senior and my body has changed. Accepting reality, seek advice, and embrace change. Thanks for the lesson. Richard C. Mill Valley, CA

[@DanielMaude]

Wonderful to hear Richard, thanks for taking the time to feedback

[@TheDrDollar]

70 years old and used this method yesterday. A substantial improvement in distance and consistency throughout my round. Plus less fatigue. Simply a great new way to hit a golf ball for someone with limit swing range.

[@DanielMaude]

Thats amazing to hear, thank you

[@jgutten]

I am a 10 hdcp., 70 yr old male and have been struggling with making a turn and getting the club inside. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't swing the club like I did when I was 50. I've incorporated this into my swing and it has helped tremendously. I have room now to clear my right side. Thank you Danny!

[@rayburnmay8853]

Danny Maude is an absolute genius with an understanding of the needs and problems of the average and senior golfer. His ability to communicate these technics is without equal. I am so appreciative of his teaching!!

[@Wayfarer4Christ]

Agreed. Brilliant teacher!

[@tribalwarlord]

Your lessons regarding seniors (and your dad) are changing my game. I like your honesty too. You don't edit out even when you make a bad shot. The crispy sound of your club contacting the ball is awesome. Keep it coming. Thank you

[@DanielMaude]

Tribal Warlord thanks for the feedback, that shot I hit was pretty funny 🙈

[@Pjotr1325]

Just going on 50 in october, so I’m not yet a really senior ‘senior’ golfer, but since I have back problems I tried the tips in this video out yesterday on the driving range and 9 holes on a par 3 golf course. This worked great for me (even with the irons). I also hit the balls about 10-15 yards further then I normally do. I went round in 27 strokes (that is about 5 strokes less as to what I normally play), so for the first time ever I made par (on scratch). My handicap has gone from 17.8 to 16.6 now. Thank you for this video; it helped me a lot!!!

[@mattlojko8384]

I am 69 year old male and play to an 8 handicap. I have been struggling with my driver and routinely getting only 210 yards carry and total yardage of 225. I was also spraying it left and right. Your video and the techniques you included was a magic cure. I am now hitting my driver straight with a routine carry of 235 and total yardage of 250. Thank you! Love your videos!

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing, well done Matt

[@jonathankoschland463]

I can't thank you enough. I am not a 'senior' but have always had poor flexibility and I just came back from the range. I have never been able to use my driver and today i have been hitting it 230-260 yards straight!!! It's practically a miracle lol.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s wonderful Jonathan well done

[@nealewalker3938]

Danny First time I’ve ever seen a pro give this advice for older golfers. I’ve had pga pro lessons where the positions expected are unrealistic for me. Well done.

[@DanielMaude]

Neale walker thank you Neale, I think the guys on tour are so far removed from the club golfer these days.

[@nielsf2743]

I’ve been put out of golf for a total of almost two years because of young pros causing me various joint injuries while trying to turn me into Luke Donald type swing. I was over 65 then, trying to replicate a Luke Donald type swing for God’s sake. Any other profession would call that malpractice.

[@robertskowronski1028]

I watched this video twice on Friday. We already had a tee time on Saturday, with no time for the driving range beforehand. At the age of 70, I have never driven the ball further and more consistently in any round. I hope this is my new normal. Now, I need to find tips that work for my short game.

[@cynt1111]

See Brian Sparks, the easiest swing, he uses this method right through the bag .Been using this method for 4 years and still maintain a single figure handicap

[@richardkampf3149]

Hey Danny! Thanks so much for the senior swing tip. I'm 74 with 2 replacement knees & a bad shoulder. My ambition this year was to break 90 in spite of my 24 handicap. I used your senior stance & have shot an 88 & an 89 & have re-upped my ambition for this year to breaking 85. Straighter & much longer - I now am reaching par 4's in 2 instead of 3 & my buddies are commenting on my improvement. Thank you

[@DanielMaude]

That’s brilliant to hear Richard, well done and thanks for sharing

[@jonathansimmons5306]

Danny, I'm 71 and had a disc removed about 35 years ago so I have flexibility problems and have lost a lot of distance over the past 12 years. I saw this video over the weekend and tried out the tips on the range yesterday with very VERY good results. Today I had a lesson with my pro who has a Trackman and my clubhead speed with my driver has increased from 81mph to 86mph solely as a result of using the tips in this video. Excellent. Thanks SO much

[@11golfnut11]

Hey Danny first of all thanks for the video. I truly appreciate your willingness to help with different thoughts and ways to help seniors. I know in the senior golf leagues I play in most of the guys are 65-75. One of the biggest issues is arthritis that has resulted from age, injury or health (RA). Your breathing out on the downswing was very good as a method of losing the tension built up trying to "smash" the ball. Your step drill showed me that I was not using all of my flexibility (relative term) that I still have available. Please keep up the great work and little by little things have improved. As always "Don't let the old man in"... Thank You

[@DanielMaude]

never let the old man in, thanks for sharing

[@rossduff7957]

I have done exactly this to both straighten my shots instead of slicing, and I gained about 15 to 30 yards distance. This is brilliant, Danny!! Totally works and it added a lot of distance for me!! Great Vlog, pal!! Well done!!

[@DanielMaude]

Ross Duff thanks as always Ross, really appreciate the support

[@mikewoodyard4504]

I have watched every You tube video imaginable on the golf swing. Bought some paid subscriptions and watched some more videos. Paid local pro’s for lessons. BUT THIS ONE! This video is a game changer for me. I applied this swing across my bag, except for short wedge shots and what a difference. Irons are 10 yards longer, first plus. I can hit my fairway woods and hybrids now off the deck, including 3 wood, second plus. Finally I am striping my driver with a nice baby draw, still tinkering with the back foot placement, but what a Eureka day for me! Love this swing. Thank you so much for this video, it is a game changer for me. Well done sir!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s awesome Mike, very well done

[@npc3743]

Hi Danny, tried your turning method for Seniors today and saw a vast difference in distance and accuracy. You’ve made a 76 year old very happy, thanks.

[@DanielMaude]

My pleasure, really happy to help

Great tip for those of us with knee, hip, shoulder and elbow issues. Getting old sucks when the mind is willing, but the body won't cooperate. Taking this to the range today.

[@DanielMaude]

Bob Kuralowicz really hope it helps Bob, if you have any questions when you’ve tried it at the driving range let me know

[@bobbyk3469]

@@DanielMaude Amazing difference. Hitting 3W driver distance straight as an arrow and hitting solid mid-long irons as well. Eliminated the weak fade and can even hit a tight draw when needed. Took some getting used to at address, but one of the best tips I've ever gotten.

[@alangoudie2299]

A similar video using irons would be valuable.Position of the ball & feet would be very important.Thank you from a 76 year old golfer.

[@jeffnsue1]

I’m 74 years old and I’ve always been a high handicapper. My worst club is the driver as I usually end up swinging outside to in and a big cut to the right for the ball. Your video showing how to put my right foot back and right toe out has really helped in getting the swing path less out to in. Thanks so much.

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing to hear Jeff

[@mikemaclennan2220]

Thanks for your advice, I am 65 and have played golf for over 40 years, mostly off 15 handicap. Lost my way about 10-15 years ago and have struggled, despite lessons from two different pros. Thought about giving up several times!! . Watched your lesson for seniors a few weeks ago and have been trying your technique, been getting better each round , and today at my home Course , Muir of Ord , in the North of Scotland, shot 12 over par 👍. My driving has improved significantly, straighter and longer than it has been for years. I found your instructions clear and easily acheivable, keep up the great work. Mike.

[@DanielMaude]

Mike Maclennan that’s great Mike thanks so much for the feedback

[@bobcarrera3858]

Great video, Danny! I'm 71 and in good shape, but I have back issues. I've been in denial about the need to adjust my swing, but this video has shown me that I can make those adjustments without looking foolish. Thank you very much!

[@DanielMaude]

my pleasure Bob

[@KhalidAnsariQatar]

Wow! I tried 😸 it today. First time this season I hit a 45 on nine holes. This is awesome 💖 and my back did not complain 🤣 after a long time. YOU ARE A MAGICIAN! FROM a 67 year old senior.

[@DanielMaude]

That’s wonderful to hear Khalid, thanks for sharing

[@ulibear1]

Hi Danny, tried your method since Mid-august most succesfully, after rstudying this video several times before a competition. Never been driving so well. At age 80 it helped me to complete my backswing, as only after a full backswing I make a good swing without quick hooks or nasty sclices. Used to lift the left foot when making a driver swing, but now I keep it down and let the right foot rise at impact. Will study your other videos as I'm a dedicated follower of your teaching from now on.

[@realpalardy1073]

First time viewer of Danny‘s videos. Happened upon this one after 2 tough games where my driver was very inconsistent. Sounded too easy but my next game out I relaxed as I said to myself: why not try this, don’t have much to lose. I hit my first drive smoothly, just missed an overhanging branch and landed in the fairway, with a smile on my face. 2nd drive was even better, and then I started to relax and it went from there. Was actually looking forward to the next driver tee off. It’s simple, looks easy, but Danny has come up with something that works based on his experience and an excellent ability to convey an understandable message. Many thanks from a less frustrated Montreal golfer Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

Thats wonderful to hear, really pleased the video helped. Thanks for taking the time to share your results

[@mrsleetaylor1949]

I’ve back issues which ended my competitive game. Years passed and I find I’m swinging with my arms which worsened the pain . Your drill is the answer to swinging without pain once again. Wonder why the big-bucks pros never told me this?🤔. Thanks again, Danny❤️

[@DanielMaude]

You are very welcome Lee

[@frankgatto2427]

Thanks for your easy to understand videos. I look forward to a new one each week. I've tried to utilize your tips for senior golfers. Not only has my score improved, but the aches and pains after a round of golf have lessened also. Thanks again....keep them coming!

Frank Gatto wonderful to hear Frank, if I can keep people playing no matter their age then this channel is well worth it

Happy to hear it Tandy thanks for taking the time to comment appreciate it 😁👍

[@sevesellors2831]

Great lesson Danny , I’m 73 and got my handicap down from 22 to 15 and it all started from a total meltdown with the driver, I chased distant got a swing like John Daly too much arms in my case and then disaster. Mixed shots and eventually the yips I couldn’t take the club back on the tee. It took me 2 years to find my own salvation. The result .? Shorter more compact backswing, hands to shoulder level and right foot back for an easy turn, then get through the ball. More consistency, more distance and no swing thoughts I keep things simple on the course. Once again Danny many thanks for such a well explained review, you really do keep things simple why complicate a game which is hard enough!

[@DanielMaude]

So great to hear Seve 👌

[@BruceAlmty]

You are so right about the head rotation or lack thereof. Started working on head, neck, shoulder movement and I can feel the work I need to do. Thanks for the tips Danny.

[@gordoncressy3329]

Hi Danny, Have been playing golf for 70 years now. Grew up as a young lad watching Moe Norman play. This video is fantastic. One slight modification I am using is to address the ball about 4 inches behind the tee. Much like Moe Norman did. I find the swoosh feel as I swing through. Keep encouraging us senior golfers. A short golf poem my father taught me If every lie was teed up high And every shot a straight one. Then every game would be the same No round a really great one Golf goes you see to life’s own ditty Without the rough There’d be no pretty Best Gordon Cressy

A very useful video to help many golfers especially senior players.Older or average golfers are not fit enough to play like young professionals.Thank you.Please make more videos for senior golfers.

[@johncalahan2039]

Great video Danny. I did not realize how much flexibility I had lost.. Trying to swing "correctly" just did not work. This method spoke to my 77 year old body, and like all good things it is very simple and understandable. After a few starts, I started to believe in the method and it works better all the time. It is obvious why you are popular. Cheers.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for the support John, hope it helps

[@chr970]

Really good video Danny. Nice presentation and info. Refreshing seeing a video that actually advises against every golfer trying to swing like Rory and the big boys......no way in heck the average golfer, let alone seniors, are capable of that. Simple, easy, and for the love of Pete don’t hurt yourself. Cheers sir!

[@m.o.5137]

Nice and simple lesson. I’m 64 and still hit it pretty decent off the tee. What you just showed us is great. I’ve used this type of swing and it isn’t rocket science, and it works. Good on ya’. You chipping video was very informative as well, and most of us need to spend more time from 50 yards and in, to improve our scores.

[@DanielMaude]

thats brilliant thanks for sharing

[@memoncolonel]

This is a great video / suggestion in general. You are not "old" until you pull a back muscle trying to drive the ball like you were 40. So I will use this technique for longevity in playing golf longer. And honestly it's very simple which lowers the ball driving frustration.

[@DanielMaude]

Awesome thanks for sharing

[@stevebaker5899]

I use this technique not only for the driver but my iron use as well. The only add I have here is that you need to move the ball back slightly in the stance so that you are compressing the ball at impact instead of reaching out for it. Big difference in distance for every club in the bag.

[@DanielMaude]

Steve Baker great bit of advice Steve, thanks for sharing

[@marksimmonds2053]

This is an excellent video in two ways. The tips for a 58 year old past his prime make complete sense. It's also excellent from a learning point of view. Throughout the video, Danny continually reinforces each of the key learning points so that they are drummed home. This is the only video I will now watch for my long game. Great job, Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

Thank you Mark, really hope it helps

[@mpcarroll1]

Really good video. I am 74 and struggling with my driver. Watched your video yesterday and went to the range. A world of difference in being able to simplify my swing and get better rotation. Thanks.

As with most people of my age (68) I have been looking for something like this. I started playing in my early thirties in the age of Leadbetter/Faldo. I have been struggling for over thirty years trying to swing as Leadbetter taught. Stupid me. I have always struggled. Thank you so much Danny. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Can't thank you enough. Golf is now fun after thirty years.

[@bhaktithorat3916]

Thanks for this video. I am struggling with follow through. The arm rotation shown in this video ....I tried ... it just helped my arms move freely and better easy rotation. Pls suggest a video for easy rotation and follow through. I am 20 handicap ..age 47 years .Thanks

After a couple of rounds of trying this I have added 40 yards to my drive. Still hoping to gain even more. Excellent upload.

[@DanielMaude]

Amazing! Well done

[@2Learning57]

After 17 year of not playing golf. Ive been working hard on my swing. Without time to take these principles to the practice range. I took them to the course and hit 7 of 18 fairways. I normally hit 1. Not one slice. Can't wait to get to the range and work more on this! Thanks Danny!

[@paulmorris9444]

Looking back at some of your videos I've saved over the years. At 78 I have a lot of hip flexibility so I notice that I have been overturning my hips and losing balance from trying to overswing. Love your videos they are helping me to stay centered during backswing, and contact. I am hitting the ball about 20 yards further and much straighter following your videos. I have learned to swing smoothly, rather than swinging hard at the ball. Thanks Danny.

[@DanielMaude]

Fantastic! Keep it up

[@dollarstoredon]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m 76 and saw your video two days ago. Didn’t have the chance to practice your swing tips at a driving range. Nevertheless, I golfed today and tried your suggestions. I would estimate that my drives were 20 yards further and much straighter. I hit all my other clubs better also.

[@DanielMaude]

Donald Varn amazing, well done Donald...thanks for taking the time to comment

[@albertschweitzerleadership7344]

Watched the video and then tried it out in the garden, standing in front of the washing line. First square on swing didn't get back too far before coming under pressure. Tried the Danny stand and nearly emptied the washing line. Amazing how much further the back swing goes. Now to try the release on the range! So far brilliant!

[@DanielMaude]

Albert Schweitzer Leadership for Life great to hear Albert, now I wait to see how your range session goes

[@rossduff7957]

I also adjusted my irons to this sort of swing. I don't set my trailing foot back as much, or flare my toes back as much. My lead foot is actually flared to about 10 o'clock. This allows me to deliver the face of my irons square with the target, my chest and arms finish more square with the target, and with the catapult method you taught earlier this year, I get great distance! I have had to step up a couple of clubs due to an increase in distance. Two things, 1) the Catapult method, and 2) foot position to allow me to store then quickly release more energy!! Both thanks to you, Danny!!

[@DanielMaude]

Ross Duff well that’s just great, thanks for sharing

[@alangoudie2299]

Very helpful.I try & draw my driver but up to now not risked trying to draw with my irons.I will try on the range before on the course.

Danny I'm a 65 year old Lefty with a lifelong ridiculous slice. This video and a few days of range practise changed my game.

Jeff White that’s great Jeff, let me know how you get on at the driving range

[@cloudsrain8753]

Very nice Danny. I am now a month into finally swinging the driver 175 yds straight as an arrow in the air thru much much practice time. Occasionally at the net 200 yds. I would like to add for me anyway. Right foot slightly back, Golf ball slightly back. Will bring ball forward as my swing improves more. Then Shaft nice and 90 deg pointing off center of me, grip proper (key as well), Look at target (key, a lot of guys forget this at the range), turn right shoulder in, drop left shoulder, then and then only bend right knee in, keep back weight on right knee tension. Slow proper 3 point takeaway, right elbow in and on downswing keeping in mind the travel is shorter to get sweet spot on club. Now even my mentor says now I am ready for an actual game. And he is a stickler o my he is! Anyhow, unreal how much goes into things with the driver. Also keeping my grip and elbow in prevents going over the top and increases my down stroke length of where club head lands. I thought I was crazy at one point, but I actually can hit the damn driver now after @ 4 months of cursing........lol. Much love to you Danny!

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for taking the time to comment and help out the community

[@billding7073]

Jack Nicklaus turned his head to the right before initiating his swing. It was a key move to keep his head steady and behind the ball. He got some pretty good results from that. I like the way you've also made that addition to this really fine tip for seniors. It really works for me.

[@DanielMaude]

Thanks for noticing Bill, hope it helps

[@tomasranta6154]

Jack Nicklaus turned his head to the right partly because he was left eye dominant. It helps with putting too. He bent over looked down the line with his left eye.

[@antinora3265]

Once again you've improved my game. The Dubai takeaway was first. The senior turn (I'm 54, not quite senior but still stiff) moving all parts away as a unit, then follow through with the bottom arm like "skimming a stone" caused 75% fairways hit & 78% GiR. Since watching & practicing your drill (including practice putting eyes closed) dropped my score from 95 to 90 and today I shot 82! Unreal! Only 2 miss hit tee shots. Thanks again.

[@wilslt]

Danny, I had heart surgery in April and had lost distance and accuracy since the surgery. After watching this video and doing what you said at the driving range it only took hitting two balls to hit it straight and got my distance back. Thanks for the tips!

[@DanielMaude]

So good to hear Larry, welcome back to the game 👍

[@ricksmith5504]

Another great teaching video! I’m a senior but without serious flexibility issues. But still not as flexible as my younger days. But I think this will be a big help. And you made a reply about alignment still being square even with change in foot position. That hits home with me that always make sure the shoulders are squarely aligned no matter foot position. Great tip.

[@alanhancox9953]

I am 79 years of age, still on single figures, I have some flexibility. This video is very helpful and the concept easy to understand. One thing that helped me was I watched an old video by the legendary long driver exponent, Mike Austin. He advocated turning the navel 8 inches on the backswing and sixteen inches on on the downswing. I introduced this thought to my swing and it immediately helped my accuracy and an increase in distance.

[@johngooch2341]

I am 77 years old, but in pretty good shape, so I took these concepts to the range today, and the results were fantastic. For the first time i am coming into the ball from the inside, and am feeling that solid contact with the face of my driver. Ive gained at least 25 yards, straight at the target, and can hardly wait to get to the course. THANK YOU !!!

It's added 30yds to my drives and given me a draw which I can work on. One quick question how would I use this method to fade the ball and is it just a case of opening the club face?

[@DanielMaude]

Having suffered with sciatica, I've done this for 12 months to alleviate the stress on my back and I can categorically say it works. As well as less pain etc my driving has improved so much and I'm now known as a fairway finder !! Really recommended. Good tip !

[@renesaldivar2506]

Great advice!!! I made this change and gained about 40 yards on the best drive! Really appreciate the tips!!

[@DanielMaude]

That’s awesome Rene, all the best

[@joebrown1808]

Your video focuses on the driver. Would you recommend the same setup for other long irons and hybrids? Thanks for the video. It should help this 73 year old body. Sorry Danny, I didn't see the reply to the previous comment before posting mine. My question has been answered. Going to the range later today to give it a try.

[@DanielMaude]

Joe Brown perfect, look forward to hearing how you get on

[@tyeeggleston6159]

Great Video Danny, even though i am in my early 60s, i do have a fair amount of flexibility due to my work. But this is a great video for those who dont and it is, as always, simple and easy with no over-the-top complications thrown in. Keep up the great work, love the vids.

[@DanielMaude]

Tye Eggleston thank you Tye, it’s certainly not a video for everyone but I really hope it helps those golfers that struggle with flexibility or injuries

[@hoonai]

Thanks Danny! I'm 79,I tried to draw the ball. Had some success the other day. I tried it few days ago. Couldn't do it. I watch your instruction again. I think. I got it now.

[@DanielMaude]

Keep up the good work, appreciate the feedback

First time I've posted a comment on a golf video. Fantastic advice! Simple, but effective. I added 20 yards to my first drive today, by following your advice. Thank you!

It actually works for us senior golfers. I can't get the draw yet but it is much easier on my back and I hit it straighter. I now finish my round with less pain. Keep up these excellent tips for us seniors, Danny.

[@alvor2762]

The amount of time & effort Danny puts into these excellent instructional videos is exceptional. I have learnt so much more from these videos than from any actual one to one lessons in the past 20-years. He has to be applauded for his efforts to help so many people.

[@jayvee1947]

Thank you Danny. I am 71 year old lefthanded golfer and have a natural draw left to right. I found this video helpful as I generally setup Square. The use of moving my left foot flared back and turning my head so the right eye is looking at the ball. The release for me is the key.

John Spielmann thanks for commenting John and I hope this helps your golf swing

[@douglaswhite7106]

I've tried this with great results. Can I use this same method with hybrids and irons, and what adjustments should we make. Thanks again for a great tutorial!

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely, just remember there is more of a downward impact

[@ericvandenakker2069]

I am 62 yrs old and Just started swinging the clubs after a hip replacement. When the courses start opening here in Massachusetts , I am looking forward to practicing this, as I know my flexibility will not be what it was!! Thanks for this video, I hope I can make it work !!

[@vernonbay9823]

Started using this technique because I’m 61 and no longer get the turn I used to as a younger player. This works and able to get more power than I used to..with a normal square stance.

[@duncanhill5984]

Great suggestion thanks ! Is there any chance you can slow mo the key parts of your vid? Keep them coming

[@DanielMaude]

Absolutely Duncan, thanks for the advice

Would you recommend the same setup for approach shots? Thanks for all the coaching. Paul

Thanks so much for the support

[@kylesplichal199]

Wow!! What a difference! I am 35, athletic and have lower body flexibility. However I have never been flexible from a golfers standard. This made my range session awesome and I can't wait for the course tomorrow!

[@jameslong7474]

All I can say, Danny, is ... WOW! And that bears repeating ... WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW! I'm set to turn 69 this weekend and I just had the best practice session of the year using this technique. I found that the tendency to overswing was greatly reduced and my swing tempo was much smoother, resulting in much more solid contact. The finish you're recommending also reduced the over-the-top tendency and my pulling the ball. Thanx for your awesome instruction ... now, what can you recommend I do about my 34-40 putts per round?

[@DanielMaude]

James Long ⛳️thanks for the comment James...great to hear. ! Video on putting coming soon

[@deirdrezlomanchuk8349]

Again Danny, many helpful tips, insights, and drills. My issue with my long irons is...low and pulling left, like I'm smothering the shot. Any suggestions??

[@BussKITT]

deirdre zlomanchuk where is your ball position? Set up regularly, then move back a ball in your stance. One ball per swing at a time until you see a difference. The debate of path vs face in relation to flight/curve far out lives me. With that being said if you are using a similar swing demonstrated above, your pull is probably orchestrated from club face(IPO.) Hope this helps

[@DanielMaude]

deirdre zlomanchuk absolutely, it sounds like the club is attaching the ball too much from out to in. The very first thing I would do it experiment with the club face. See if you can keep it open through impact and see what happens. It’s about creative practice and learning to feel which way the club face is pointing at impact

[@deirdrezlomanchuk8349]

@@BussKITT Thinking about it...it may be too far forward. Your suggestion of moving it back a little each time, gives me hope! As you and Danny said as well...club face at impact is probably the culprit! Thanks.

I'll be playing this Friday with my senior group and I will try your "new" stance. It looks like a common sense answer to older bones for sure. Thanks.

Love to hear how you get on with this driver swing Kenneth

[@larrybeckley9170]

I WATCHED MANY GOLF SWING VIDEOS FOR SENIORS. THIS VIDEO HAS CHANGED MY ABILITY TO GET LONGER DRIVES WITH GREAT DRAW AND MUCH EASIER ON BODY.. IF FOLLOWED AND UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF DANNY'S , ONE CAN REALLY GET BODY ROTATION AND A SENSE OF BEING TURNED AWAY FROM BALL. I FOUND A SMOOTH SLOWER BACK SWING CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE IN THE TRANSITION. THIS REALLY HELPS TO USE TORSO AND SHOULDERS IN THE SWING. I AM TESTING THE HEAD TILT TO RIGHT WHICH I FIND DIFFICULT TO INCORPORATE .I HAVE MAKE SURE TO SET UP WITH SHOULDERS AND HIPS ALIGNED TO INTENDED FLIGHT OR I GET RIGHT OF MY INTENDED LINE. MY AGE IS 77 AND CAN CARRY DRIVES OVER 200 WHEN HITTING FACE OF CLUB PROPERLY AT THIS TIME. I AM WORKING ON IRONS AND HYBRIDS NOW AS IT REALLY HELPS IN THE COLD WEATHER TO GET TURNED BETTER. THANKS DANNY MAUDE

[@DanielMaude]

Hi Larry, hope your golf is still going well

[@allaunier8143]

Danny, you did a great job of explaining the "senior swing". I'm 77 and have been practicing this particular swing adjustment, just as you described, for the past two weeks. I've been able to adapt to it rather easily, although not yet 100% ingrained, but it's such a source of satisfaction to see my "new swing" deliver my "old draw". Nice job!

[@DanielMaude]
